The Swiss Nanoscience Institute (SNI) looks back on a successful 2025—marked by cutting-edge interdisciplinary research, outstanding support for early-career scientists, and close collaboration with industry and society. Our new annual report offers insights into the diverse activities driving solutions for today’s and tomorrow’s challenges.

What you’ll find in the 2025 Annual Report:

• World-class education—from bachelor’s to master’s and PhD programs, we train the next generation of nanoscience researchers.
• Bridging research disciplines—from life and materials sciences to quantum research and environmental technologies, with a focus on nanoimaging and nanofabrication. SNI members tackle both fundamental and applied research questions, often in partnership with industry.
• Services—the Nano Technology Center serves as a central hub for nanoimaging and nanofabrication infrastructure and expertise.
• Network—a unique, interdisciplinary community of researchers from diverse academic institutions, driving innovation forward.
• Communication & Outreach—how we make nanoscience accessible and engaging for all.
• Financial report and heartfelt thanks to the cantons of Aargau, Basel-Stadt, and Basel-Landschaft, as well as the University of Basel, for their ongoing support, which makes these achievements possible.
